CAMERIMAGE 2022 GAINS MOMENTUM FOR 30TH CELEBRATION
T
he 30th edition of EnergaCamerimage, the international art of cinematography film festival, will take place from November 12-19 in Torun, Poland, and news is rolling-in thick and fast in advance of the jubilee event. Cinematographer Stephen H. Burum ASC will be recognised with the 2022 Lifetime Achievement Award, and will collect the accolade in-person in Toruń, where festival visitors will have the opportunity to admire some of his films. Burum is best-known for his collaborations with director Brian De Palma, on classics such as The Untouchables (1987), Casualties Of War (1989), Carlito’s Way (1993), Mission: Impossible (1996), Snake Eyes (1998) and Mission To Mars (2000). His canon of work also includes Joel Schumacher’s St. Elmo’s Fire (1985), Danny DeVito’s The War Of The Roses (1989), and Ken Kwapis’ and Marisa Silver’s He Said, She Said (1991). The festival, will also honour visual arts pioneer Ulrike Ottinger with its Avant-Garde Achievements In Film Award. Ottinger is known for work that challenges audiences’ notions of visual arts, and has stayed active for five
decades across film, photography, theatre, opera and exhibition. Ottinger made her film debut in 1973 with Laocoön & Sons, in which she laid out her aesthetic outlook. In her next movie, Madame X: An Absolute Ruler (1977), she challenged masculine tropes – gaining international success and helping to underpin the formation of the feminist movement. Joan Of Arc Of Mongolia (1989) was an emancipatory story of female identity, whilst anthropological themes dominated many of Ottinger’s documentary films, particularly the ones focused on Asia such as Taiga (1992), an eight-hour epic on the life of nomads living in that country.
Renowned Australian cinematographer, Vance Burberry, will be the recipient of the Award For Achievements In Music Videos. His long list of collaborators includes performers as Guns N’ Roses, Alice Cooper, Cher, Celine Dion, Pearl Jam, Avril Lavigne, Linkin Park, Enrique Iglesias, Britney Spears, Ozzy Osbourne, Busta Rhymes, Def Leppard, Gloria Estefan, The Weeknd and R.E.M, among many others. Attendees will also get the chance to see designs for the new European Film Center CAMERIMAGE (EFCF) that is to be built in Torun. Camerimage also recently revealed the official poster for its 2022 edition, designed by Piotr Jabłoński.

PIXIPIXEL BECOMES CARBON NEUTRAL
Now you can work from anywhere in the world with remote collaboration and Blackmagic Cloud!
The company transitioned to renewable energy in all facilities in 2019, which prevents approximately 30+ tCO2e from entering the atmosphere annually. The company recently upgraded all Flobanks in its lighting inventory to Bicolour LED fixtures as part of its sustainability plan and commitment to phase out all fluorescent tubes from its rental stock. Pixipixel is also committed to reducing waste, with none of its waste going to landfill; staff have been trained in the basics of the climate crisis and
workshops have been held to listen to employees on their ideas on emission reduction actions with the assistance of Creative Zero. “We have made great progress to run our business more sustainably and intend to go further with our carbon reduction plans to aid not only our business in being more efficient but contribute to our clients’ efforts to reduce carbon footprint on their productions,” said Steve Knight, managing director of Pixipixel.

ixipixel, the London based rental house, and an Albertapproved sustainable supplier, has received carbon neutral certification as part of its sustainability commitment, making it one of the first UK rental facilities offering camera, lighting and generators to achieve this milestone.
Pixipixel’s carbon neutral certification comes after independent assessment and verification of its greenhouse gas emissions for the last financial year, conducted in accordance with the standards set by the Department For Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and the Department For Business, Environment & Industrial Strategy (BEIS). Most of company’s emissions – approximately 107 tonnes of carbon dioxideequivalent (tCO2e) – arise as a result of vehicle fuel consumption. Pixipixel is expected to considerably reduce this figure by up to 90% in 2022 following its switch from diesel to HVO fuel in autumn 2021.

I see the expansion of IMAGO as essential, by bringing back the European societies that left as well as including Latin American, African and Asian societies. The aim is also to make IMAGO a centre of communication and interaction in all matters related to cinematography, by improving the IMAGO website, using social media platforms and an IMAGO mobile app. Our technical, education, working conditions, authorship rights, diversity and inclusion committees all do great work, and the resumption of the
